[QUOTE="davesmith84, post: 537753, member: 13114"] I've had it jacked up, down, even left and right! Ha! I've spun the wheels, pulled them in and out, left, right, top, bottom etc. the one thing I haven't done is had to bus on axle stands whilst jacking up from under the lower torsion arm to the point where the jack is taking all the weight of that wide and then push/pulling the wheel around. I've read this can be really useful when trying to find worn ball joints etc. will try this tonight. Definitely not over tight bearings. I tried them nipped up tighter than they were then I also tried barely nipped up at all, just enough to take the play out the bearing. Rumble probably isn't the best description to be fair. It's more of a constant knocking at a frequency that is almost a rumble and it's not very loud either. It's consistent with small bumps in the road too. Definitely sounds like something in the suspension/steering is slightly loose and it's knocking/rattling around. Thanks for you suggestion, I will definitely double checked what you've said later this evening when I can get back under the bus. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
